@avatar1024 said in Email search not working properly: What's tika? tika is this - https://tika.apache.org/ . it converts the pdf/docs attachments in emails to text to make them searchable

That's great, thanks @girish! It seems to work now. I enabled it and followed the steps in the new documentation you linked to, and then ran doveadm -c /run/dovecot.conf index -A '*' from the mail container which started indexing everything. Just waiting for the indexing to finish to confirm it'll be good.

This was a regression in Cloudron 7.7. Thanks for reporting @AartJansen Fixed in https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/1afa2e87ec93881ebcd1f79d83d4477467b40770

@girish I think that would be a good change. I also think I should have gone through the Troubleshooting document sooner : https://docs.cloudron.io/troubleshooting/ Thanks!

If you go down this route, be sure to search via roundcube or SOGo and not rainloop because the latter does not support recursive search. A while ago @samir shared a recipe with me to make doveadm work, let me see if that still works when I find the time.

@necrevistonnezr I noticed the first time enabling it,it has to index each mailbox which takes time depending on how big they are. I am sure if you left it as-is for a bit it would have started on it's own. Glad it's working now

I found that in Thundberbird, if you press Ctrl+K, it will use IMAP search. On Android K-9, there is Settings -> Account Settings -> Search -> Enable server search.
